1. ## Can some one please help me solve??

I have added an attachment with the problem.

So I know that I am suppose to substitute P with 150 and L with 110, divide that and then square it.
2(150) 300
_____ = ____
110 110

and then you square it. But I keep getting 0.36 as the answer.

Please help

$\left(\frac{2 \times 150}{110}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{300}{110}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{30}{11}\right)^2 = \frac{900}{121} \approx 7.44$

3. I have a question, how come you squared the problem?

Because that's what it said to do in the problem, and in your explanation of the problem.
